easy stovetop lasagna

This is maybe the easiest dinner recipe ever and it's delicious and filling. I served it with a side salad and dinner was served in 30 minutes. I love my regular lasagna recipe but this is perfect for those nights when you want some warm, rich lasagna but don't want to spend a long time in the kitchen.

1 pound spicy Italian sausage

2 garlic cloves, minced

1 (24 - 26 ounce) jar pasta sauce*

2 1/2 - 3 cups water (see note)

8 ounces uncooked lasagna noodles

1/4 cup Parmesan cheese

2 Tablespoons chopped parsley (or 1 Tablespoon dried parsley)

8 ounces cottage cheese (or ricotta cheese, if you want)

1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Heat large skillet over medium heat and cook sausage and garlic until done. Add sauce and water and bring to a boil. Gently break noodles in a kitchen towel into large pieces and add to pot. Cover and simmer about 15 - 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until noodles are tender.

Mix cheeses, parsley and pepper in a small bowl. Spoon cheese mixture on top of lasagna noodles and sauce. Cover and simmer about 3 - 5 minutes until cheese is melted. Garnish with more Parmesan cheese (it's best if you let it sit about 10 minutes before serving).
